And this is the world’s famous presidential beehive. It was brought and installed by a White House worker, a waiter, 27, who serves the U.S. presidents. And now Michelle Obama treats the heads of foreign states with honey. The beehive is secured to the ground so that it won’t be blown away by the winds from the presidential helicopter during landing and take-off.
